Guides to help people understand what's involved and how to switch to Linux

#Linux
This week's donation went to EndeavourOS. I'ts an Arch based Linux distro. EndeavourOS is available for x86_64 as well as a few ARM64 devices. EndeavourOS uses the Calamares installer. It uses SystemD for the init system. If you choose the online installer then you get a choice of eight desktop environments or five window managers. You also get a choice between Grub, SystemD-Boot, or no bootloader for the x86_64 version. You can also choose between BTRFS and EXT4 for filesystems. All in all you get a lot of user choice during install outside of the sole init system option.



The main website for EndeavourOS is here:

https://endeavouros.com/





The page for the ARM device downlaods is here:

https://endeavouros.com/endeavouros-arm-install/





The source code is available on Github:

https://github.com/endeavouros-team

The project has a forum as well as a presence on the Fediverse and Matrix:

Launching Ko-Fi (also, minor patreon updates)
Pretty straightforward, it's practically in the title. I've just launched my new Ko-Fi page for anyone willing to spare some loose change for a tip or two. Since this' a new thing for me there may be some growing pains and kinks to iron out as I go. You can visit my Ko-Fi here: https://ko-fi.com/alextrtabor

As for the Patreon updates, not much is changing. It's mainly an update to the $5 tier (you'll now get to suggest stuff for the upcoming Fanart Fridays pieces). You can still visit my Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AlexTrTabor

@publiclewdness Flathub and the likes are currently hosted on GNOME's infrastructure, which I guess is the reason given Flathub's connection to Flatpak as a format. There is work being done to set up Flathub as an independent legal entity, however.

So the good news is it seems that at least some shareholders of companies like Square Enix have started to raise concerns regarding the companies including woke crap and parterning with the likes of Sweet baby but time will tell if it will make a difference. If they get fed up and dump stock maybe something actually happens.

Here is the article in question:

Did anybody else notice that Flatpak emptied the contents of their Open Collective and appear to have given it all to the Gnome Foundation ? Did I miss some news post about this somewhere ? Seems a little odd to me.

I got display configuration working for the first time today for what will eventually be the next implementation of @buddiesofbudgie budgie-daemon, or at the very least this will be folded in to it. 🥳

My goal was to have a TOML-backed configuration of outputs to enable portability and in a manner that promotes flexibility (match by groups of display serials for starters), of course with a graphical component eventually for normal users.

As I've been actively learning C++, some of this code still has some C-isms which I am gonna get cleaned up, but at least I can stop getting annoyed by my KVM switches resetting my display positions 😁

Next up is validating mode changes get picked up, cleanup then implementing DBus server so it can interface with the existing budgie-control-center (changes there needed of course). Longer term we'll probably be using capnproto.

Alongside this, I'm continuing to tinkering with a Rust 🦀 implementation as well (I feel I'd be doing myself a disservice to not at least continue tinkering with that), I just haven't had as good of luck with the waterfall of events and registering against those as I have on the C++ side.

So on the good news it seems that at least some shareholders of companies like Square Enix have started to raise concerns regarding the companies including woke crap and parterning with the likes of Sweet baby but time will tell if it will make a difference. If they get fed up and dump stock maybe something actually happens.
